The Beauty of the Beastly pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Natalie Angier knows all that scientists know - and sometimes more - about the power of symmetry in sexual relations, about the brutal courting habits of dolphins, about the grand deceit of orchids, about the impact of female and male preferences on evolution. She knows how scientists go about their work, and she describes their ways, their visions, and their arguments. Perhaps most poignantly, she understands the complexities and the sad necessity of death. "The beauty of the natural world lies in the details, and most of those details are not the stuff of calendar art," she points out. Few writers have ever covered so many facets of biology so evocatively in one book. The Beauty of the Beastly tells us how the genius of the biological universe resides in its details and proves why, according to Timothy Ferris, author of the acclaimed Coming of Age in the Milky Way, Angier is "one of the strongest and wittiest science writers in the world today."

评分本书译者为导读选择的标题为:天地有大美而不言,对此,我稍有异议。自然造物奇妙无比,吸引着有好奇心的人不停探索,可其中体现是否全部是美,这涉及美的内涵,千百年来尚争论不休,我不敢妄下断言。如果我是译者,可能更愿选择的题目是:天公造物,妙在无言。人类在神...
